FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Why add protein powder to cheesecake?
The protein powder gives your cake an extra dose of protein. Many people also find protein-rich cakes pleasantly filling. It’s the ultimate fitness cheesecake.
Does baking destroy the protein?
Nope – our protein powder is heat-stable, so you still get all the benefits! We even recommend baking with it to increase daily protein intake.
Can I make a crustless high-protein cheesecake with this recipe?
Yes! Just skip the crust and add a bit more starch to firm up the filling.
* Want a sugar-free version? Just swap the sugar for your preferred sweetener – just make sure the texture works for baking!
